Typora is the primary markdown-native UX authority

Question

Which product should be the primary UX authority for Plate's markdown-native editing lane?

Decision

Typora wins.

Why

• it is explicitly markdown-first
• it documents real editing behavior, not just syntax
• it covers links, images, HTML entry, clipboard, search, outline, TOC, strict mode, auto pair, and source-oriented behavior
• it is a better fit for markdown-native editing feel than Docs-, Notion-, or engine-first products

Limits

This does not mean Typora wins everything.

It does not override:

• CommonMark or GFM syntax semantics
• Google Docs table/document behavior
• Notion block-editor-native behavior
• explicit Plate-owned decisions where Typora is silent
